SDL Trados Studio Getting Started Translating

This course is designed for users who want to become familiar with SDL Trados Studio 2019 quickly and start working productively from day one.

The course consists of three modules. The first module introduces CAT tool technology and the Translation Process.

The remaining two modules present the core features of Studio while translating a Word and PowerPoint document.

There are sample documents available which are linked to within the modules and these can be used if you wish to practice using the application after the course.

In addition access to a companion SDL Trados Studio Getting Started Translating training manual is provided via the Resources section of the course.
